Abstract

The article covers the results of the study of the value and identification grounds of attributing guilt to the participants of social interactions. 111 students of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv evaluated the degree of mutual fault of 41 pairs of interpersonal, intergroup and inter-ethnic interactions participants. The questionnaire was supplemented with the S. Schwartz's test for the diagnosis of values, the J. Rotter's test of internal and external locus of control, the tests for the diagnosis of collective narcissism and identification with all humanity. Generalization of the obtained data allowed detecting the most significant value and identification characteristics that determined a direction and content of attribution of guilt to participants of interpersonal and intergroup interactions carried out by young people. They were: collective narcissism, identification with communities, in particular with Ukrainians, the values of conformity, tradition, benevolence and security. In interpersonal sphere, the relationships with parents and a parental family are the most sensitive to the attribution of guilt. Significant family interaction lays the psychological foundations for further blame attitudes in a broader social environment at different levels of communities. In the Ukrainian politicized society, a psychologically important figure is a close political opponent. Blaming him or her helps a person to identify him or herself as an active agent of social behavior. A political context of current social life has a significant impact on an assessment of intergroup guilt. The most important factors are political and ideological attitudes in the space of Ukrainian-Russian values confrontation and attitudes to official power as the most likely culprit of existing problems. Of the three areas of social interaction assessed, the least blaming content was found in Ukrainians’ relations with the neighboring peoples.
